Follow this tutorial and create a multi-row Lapis Lazuli bracelet.
Do you know about memory wire? It is a very strong wire that keeps its shape like a spring. You can cut it to make a multi-strand bracelet with a pair of shears. You can create a memory bracelet without a clasp. You just have to wrap it around your wrist.
In this bracelet tutorial, we used memory wire in a different way to create a multi-row bracelet with Lapis Lazuli beads. This way, the bracelet stays rigid and the beads stay face to face. This gemstone bracelet is composed of three turns of memory wire connected together with 3 rows of spacers and a tip.
Cut a little more than one turn of memory wire with the shears. Avoid using conventional wire cutters, which may cut the wire with difficulty and become damaged.
With a strong round pliers, form a loop on one of the ends. Close the loop on the first ring of the multi-row spacer. You will close the loop in the same direction each time, with the other two pieces of yarn that you will attach later in the steps.
String 5 Lapis Lazuli rounds, 1 gold round, 5 Lapis Lazuli rounds, 1 spacer. Then, repeat this sequence of beads 4 times and attach the other end of the lathe to the spacer 3 rows. Be careful to thread the spacers in the same direction. Hammered side towards the outside of the bracelet.
Cut a little more than one turn of memory wire again. Form a loop on one side and thread the loop through the middle ring of the spacer. Do not attach the loop to the ring yet to facilitate the passage through the hammered spacers.
Thread 4 Lapis Lazuli washers, 3 gold washers, 4 Lapis Lazuli washers and thread the end of the wire through the middle hole of the hammered spacer. Turn the memory wire as you add the string of beads and thread through the hammered spacers.
Once the turn is complete, attach the loop of the memory wire formed in step 3 to the multirow tip. Next, cut the wire end on the other side, leaving about 1 cm to form the loop. Form the loop and close it over the spacer ring.
Attach a ring to each charm and tassel.
Use the same stringing method as in step 3 and 4. This time the bead sequence is as follows: 2 Lapis Lazuli rounds, 1 diamond charm, 2 Lapis Lazuli rounds, 1 gold round, 2 Lapis Lazuli rounds, 1 pompon, 2 Lapis Lazuli rounds, pass through the spacer. After, the sequence is the same but alternate pompons and diamond charms. In the center of the bracelet, you will have two diamond charms in mirror.
Add a clasp with an extension chain to the end caps. Use open rings to attach them. You can cut the extension chain back if it is too big, and add a Lapis Lazuli charm.
